This is a very quick overview - but it's important to consider our resistance settings on the damper before doing a workout.
The higher the number the higher the resistance - meaning we have to work harder to get the output we're looking for...
The lower the number the lower the resistance - meaning is easier to get the fan on the machine moving.
However, sometimes if we go too low, we can't physically generate enough power to make progress efficiently.
But if we go too high, we risk burning out too soon🥵
Ultimately, there is no one best setting, the setting is whatever feels best for you.
But it is widely considered best practice not to have the fan on 10, especially when going for medium-long distances
Personally for me I find 5-6 resistance the sweet spot that allows me to generate a good amount of power to make good progress - and allows me to keep a consistent pace✅
